3:6 And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat.
The woman doesn't believe the serpent just because. She examines the tree, considers the evidence, and find that it supports the serpent more than it supports God. The serpent didn't force her; the serpent didn't even persuade her; the serpent just let her judge for herself.
Maybe her husband just ate because she gave him some fruit; or maybe he also saw that it was good, etc.
So, the suspense is killing me. Do they both die on that very day, proving God right? Or do they become wise, like gods, knowing good and evil, proving the serpent and their own judgment right?
I'm disappointed that it says nothing about what the fruit tasted like.
